I need a DCS 7901 badge like that.

Shipping will be more than the cost of the decal though, nothing I can do about that short of eating the expense myself.

I have three boxes that I need to ship to the US.
Would shipping a simple envelope within the US be somewhat affordable?

If you wanted to send that decal with the stuff you send over for me I could send that decal from me to David @Powerstroke Cowboy from my place then it would be just postage from here which would basically be nothing? Just a thought

That would work for me. Just let me know what I owe you! I appreciate the offer!

@Wilhelm . Shane's offer above works for me. If you both find it agreeable. I would happily buy one of those decals from you. It's just what I need.

I could do that if it works for You two!
The one additional sticker won't change shipping cost of Shane's package.

Likewise. It works for me.

I tried out the new to me 7300 today, wading into our cedars making trail. Feels pretty good.
I did up some more normal spikes as the spacemoon spikes that came on it didnt really suit me.
That and tuning against a limited coil are my only gripes so far.
Any tips for the tuning?

Do you have a tach?

 

[JIMG]

Yes I do.

Tach came in the mail from traverse creek today.
The coil limits to 13,500 so, if I understand correctly, I tune to a little under that using the tach and it should be good. Is that about right?

They like being tuned a bit above the limiter in my experience. I find the limiter and then go 1/4 turn in

 

[Wilhelm]

IMHO, stock with mild muffler mod:
- short bar setup 24" and under a little over the limiter
- long bar over 24" I tune right under the limit and their burble cleans right up once the chain takes a bite

If You change B&C setups on Your saw I guess going either way won't hurt the saw.
My PS-6400 is always tuned too rich (making her a loud burbler), and my PS-7300 & secondary PS-7900 are tuned a bit too lean (making them screamers) - they are all fine so far.
Just feed Your saw a healthy fuel mix!

I rarely change B&C setups, each of my saws have their own dedicated bars and chains.

My PS-7300 in a fir stump removal yesterday.
A chain worn way past the witness mark has been used for this purpose - this chain is now retired.

 

[Wilhelm]

My secondary PS-7900 with 24" B&C in a cherry tree removal.

 

[JIMG]

Well, I couldnt seem to find limiter. Turned high out 2x and still hitting 13500. I didnt have time so I ran it at 1 1/4 out.
Seemed to run and idle fine, though. No bogging.
I will try again tomorrow.
I like those red tops you have there, Wilhelm.

P.S. Dont forget where your spare saw is when pushing snow in the woods.

 

[Shane¹]

Anyone have a handle laying around for a 6400 7300 or 7900? Need one for my 7300 I am building and new ones are pretty pricey

Howdy...
I'm currently working on a Solo 675 has original cylinder with stock numbers of:
No base gasket
Exhaust 105
Uppers 132
Intake 80

Anyone have comment on how they like the intake timing especially if I drop the cylinder? Seems a lot.
Or does the longer stroke like the lower intake.
Thanks.

I've never been inside of a 675....but. I wouldn't worry about it up to 83 or so. After that I look for ways to shorten it.

52° of case compression as it sits. You still have a few degrees of intake duration to play with
